How Things Really Work #5

, ,

Somebody was rather rude to some friends of mine. I am so happy about this! Huh?!?! That isn't how things are supposed to work. When someone is rude to your friends, you are supposed to get angry or something, right?

Well what actually happened was one of those little flashes of insight that I really enjoy.

Interested? Heh heh heh, you will have to turn the page, or what ever happens when you click 'Read More!' hahahaha!

What happened was that a guy commented on a picture that my friends have in their blog. It is a really great picture, but the guy just didn't get it.
In fact, it is this picture: Sweetgrapes

What do you see when you look at this picture?

So, what was my insight, my little flash of inspiration? Just this:

It is not where the eyes look that is important. It is where the heart looks. And the heart can see what the eyes can not.

The love in that picture shines on me like a warm Spring day.

There is a cool piece of Jazz by David Sanborn. The title of it is 'Straight To The Heart.'

I think that is a great title for that picture. What do you think?

Isabel quoted this.

"If people didn't intend to offend you, and you're offended, you're an idiot. However, if people intend to offend you, and you're offended, you're still an idiot."

Hope that helps.

Regards, a Chinese boy, Timm.
